"..By late 2003, diplomats said, arms agency experts had obtained commercial satellite photos of Al Qaqaa showing that two of roughly 10 bunkers that contained HMX appeared to have been leveled by titanic blasts, apparently during the war. They presumed some of the HMX had exploded, but that is unclear.
Other HMX bunkers were untouched. Some were damaged but not devastated. I.A.E.A. experts say they assume that just before the invasion the Iraqis followed their standard practice of moving crucial explosives out of buildings, so they would not be tempting targets. If so, the experts say, the Iraqi must have broken seals from the arms agency on bunker doors and moved most of the HMX to nearby fields, where it would have been lightly camouflaged - and ripe for looting..."
If Iraqis routinely removed explosives, there is no reason to expect them to be there.
Kerry has an I.A.E.A. report and NY Times article and is trying to bloviate a gale out of the story. If the Bush machine gets the counter spin out, this won't have real legs. Hell, it's the truth anyway.
Yup.
